The main links with your PC and the outside world are the centronic
port, used for connecting the printer, the RS232 port, used for the
mouse, and the games port for a joystick. This book explores how
these input/output (I/O) ports can be put to use through a range of
other interfacing applications. This is especially useful for
laptop and palmtop PCs which cannot be fitted with internal I/O
cards. A novel approach is taken by this book, combining the
hardware through which the ports can be explored, and the software
programming needed to carry out a range of experiments.
Circuits are provided for simple testing tools, and three
experimental boards - which can also be purchased ready-made.
Ready-to-run TurboPascal programs are available on the Newnes web
site.
A huge range of applications are considered, turning the PC into a
flexible core of a variety of systems. External devices considered
include opto-isolator drivers, power drivers, LED drivers, relay
drivers, special driver ICs, and methods of driving opto-isolated
zero-crossing solid state relays, stepper motors, sound generating
devices and displays. Ways of gathering information from the
outside world are given, as well as connection to digital devices,
remote control and digital communication.
As well as teaching in this field, Pei An has written numerous
articles for magazines such as Electronics World and Electronics
Today International.
